5-Day Journal Challenge
Challenge Starts October 12th, 2020
When it comes to creating handmade books, the most common struggle is not knowing where to start. This 5-day challenge will walk you step-by-step through your first project. You will learn about the basic tools and techniques you need to launch you on an exciting handmade book journey.
At the end of the 5 days, you'll have a beautiful hand-bound journal that you're proud to show your family and friends. Plus the confidence you need to make more.
Learn how to get started with Handmade Books!

The Journal
Together we will create a 48-page 6" x 6" hard cover sewn journal. We will take it one day at a time and slowly build a beautiful book.
Each morning, you will receive in your inbox a pre-recorded video with the day's lesson. Then, at noon EST, I will go live in our private Facebook group, to answer all your questions.
- Day 1 - Covers
- Day 2 - Pages
- Day 3 - Prepare for Sewing
- Day 4 - Sewing
- Day 5 - Finishing Touches
As you proceed through the project, you will learn how to use basic book making tools and learn the fundamental skills you need to start making books.
